I am also asking anyone here who wants to help me out. Please, tell me below. What are your thoughts on the Furry Fandoms impact on society? What is a furry to you? What made you become a furry?

Some of these responses will be used as primary sources from other furries in my research paper. Please try to be as clean as possible? As I am in High School.

The deadline for the rough draft of this research paper is the 23rd of March. So please try to get responses in before then?

Thank you very much for considering. I hope I can get some opinions here.

1-I believe that the Furry Fandom's impact on society is good, but can be bad. It gives (for lack of better term) 'normal' people kind of a break from the realistic side of society, in my opinion it gives a bit more imagination to the world. However, some furries out there might give a bad impact on society because what said furry does and what he/she chooses to do that wouldn't be socially acceptable.
2- A furry to me is someone who likes anthropomorphic animals and creativity.
3- I love anthro animals, so a whole fandom with creativity and anthro animals? Definitely down for that!

Hope this helps, good luck with your paper!

Ino would definitely be a good insight on fursuiting as well as the DAD community as the owner of Skypro, so you have 2 birds with one stone there. Uncle Kage is always a go-to for furry representation in media and such. Any con staff member would be a good addition. TwilightSaint might be someone to try contacting, she has a lot of fursuiting and fursuit dancing experience.

1 - I don’t think it has much of an impact? We’re a small, recent group that most don't know about. The furry fandom could suddenly vanish and society as a whole wouldn’t notice much imo. There’s a difference between how society views furries and how furries actually impact society.

2 - A furry is anyone who identifies as such. Generally someone who likes creating/drawing furry ocs and has a general fondness of anthromorphic characters.

3 - I’ve always liked creating animal characters and it just grew from there. It’s great to go to cons and meet like-minded people and be able to fursuit. It’s also a very open and accepting community.

Hey I was thinking of finally making a fursuit head but wanna know what kind of foam materials for the bulk of the shaping I could use and where to buy them. Any tips?

I swear, images are just broken in this thread. I'm trying to post some but it won't work no matter what I do, so here's a link instead:

I got finished pics of my commission! I'm super excited & I'll post some updates when I get it.
My maker is Ugolek studios, they take commissions and sell a lot of heads & partials on furbuy.

Also, this is going to be my first fursuit! So what should I know about care & cleaning of a partial suit? I don't want to end up as one of those suiters with a ton of gross matted fur.

    oh my, I actually follow your maker and just seen that babe posted
    on fa ! they turned out so well !!

    I don't actually have my partial yet either, but from what I've seen,
    it's good to brush your suit before and after every use ! a more
    experienced suiter would be good to ask !!

It would be a good idea to invest in some fursuit spray so you can disinfect your head and such after you wear it. A slicker brush is good for brushing, just make sure you brush with the handle facing opposite the direction of the fur. Ask your maker what they recommend as far as washing the paws goes, it depends based on what they're made of.

I watched that video earlier! I knew that suit looked familiar.
